| Beschrijving keerzijde | A fire temple is depicted at centre, the primary sacred symbol of Zoroastrian worship, flanked by a standing royal figure to the left facing right, likely representing the king in a devotional posture. Above the scene, the winged disk of Ahura-Mazda presides in the upper field, affirming divine royal sanction. To the right, a column surmounted by an eagle completes the composition, a motif common to Persid dynastic reverses. The overall design reflects the strong Achaemenid religious and iconographic heritage maintained by the Persis kings. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Darayan I (Darius I of Persis) ruled as a vassal king under the Seleucid empire during its prolonged collapse, a period when regional dynasts across Iran asserted increasing autonomy as Parthian pressure from the east dismembered Seleucid control province by province. The kingdom of Persis — centered on the ancient Achaemenid heartland around Persepolis — never fully submitted to Hellenistic culture, and its coinage reflects a deliberate archaism that sets it apart from every contemporary issue in the region.
Alram 557 is among the scarcer die pairings in the Darayan I series.
